		<description><![CDATA[Another harpist enjoying the outdoors.  This rendition of the Chanter&#8217;s song comes to us from Josephine on the Isle of Skye, playing a Seiriol harp.
Sorry the posts have been infrequent lately; been caught up with yard and garden prep while the sun shines.  It&#8217;s spring here in Southern Ontario, which means the weather [...]]]></description>

		<title>La Partida on Paraguayan harp</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Harpist Mark Hammer playing the Paraguayan harp.   If you want to know more about the harp and the tune he&#8217;s playing, he includes a fairly detailed write-up about both here.

		<description><![CDATA[Just got back this morning, and what a weekend it was!  The first ever Northern Lights Harp Fest in Ottawa was a resounding success (despite the glitches with the sound system on the last day).   I had hoped to blog &#8220;live&#8221; (as it were) from the hotel, but my computer decided it didn&#8217;t like the [...]]]></description>
